Correction: Inoculation of wheat with Azospirillum sp. bacteria and study of their germinated portions effects on common carp performance and health aspects

Abstract

This corrects "Inoculation of wheat with Azospirillum sp. bacteria and study of their germinated portions effects on common carp performance and health aspects." Adv. Life Sci. 2023 Sep;10(3):464–471. doi: 10.62940/als.v10i3.2315.

Following the publication of this article, an internal audit — conducted in response to quality concerns raised by Web of Science — identified suspected plagiarism in the originally published version. Upon investigation, it was determined that the similarity detected (27%) was attributable to the recurring use of commonly employed scientific terminology rather than actual plagiarism. The records have since been reconciled, and the Editorial Expression of Concern issued on 20 June 2025 has accordingly been withdrawn. The earlier published copy of this article is available on request at als.editor@als-journal.com.

The Advancements in Life Sciences Editorial Office regrets that these issues were not identified prior to publication.
